Women’sround-up
Four Premier Division teams, two Division 1 sides and one Division 3 side booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Wexford Women’s Cup after Sunday’s round of games.
The shock of the day saw Division 3 leaders St. Cormac’s overcome Division 1 side 2-1 Kilmore United, thanks to goals from April Breen and Kate Cullen with Roisin Furlong scoring for Kilmore.
